Co-sponsored bill establishing crime of human trafficking

This bill would establish new crimes concerning forced labor and sex trafficking.
Both of these activities represent a modern form of slavery, in which ever increasing numbers of persons, primarily women and children, are trafficked across international borders and into this State.
Forced labor and sex trafficking would each be categorized as a crime of the second degree.

Also, if a person destroyed, concealed, or possessed the passport or any other government-issued identifying document of a victim, while in the course
of committing, attempting to commit, or conspiring to commit, the crime of forced labor or sex trafficking, the person would be guilty of a crime of the third degree.
